Librarian (Lb65)

The library application allows a collection of compiled modules to be converted into a single library file. The linker scans libraries during the link process and removed only the modules needed to satisfy missing references. The command line syntax for the librarion is shown below

Lb65 [-create|update|remove|list] library [object ...]

The librarian supports four actions, namely:

-create uses the supplied list of object files to build a new library.
-update replace old object modules of the same name and add any new objects modules to the library
-remove will remove the indicated object modules from the library
-list will output a simple list of the object modules in the library.

The example ctype library is built using the following command.

Lb65 -create ctype.lib is*.obj to*.obj
